Only time will tell…but after all

He did beat Bush time-wise in the race to become #1, right? I don’t think he’ll have to need much time at the rate his going; you? This set of small biz owners that paid for the sign think he already is #1. (H/T: RedState)

“…we are imposing a new entitlement that we don’t know how to pay for on top of the other entitlements that we don’t have money for…”

Rep. Paul Ryan (D-WI) is making a name for himself in Republican circles as one absolutely sharp cookie when it comes to the budget, healthcare, and the intermingling of the two.  At today’s House Rules Committee that was discussing if and how the reconciliation may proceed, he is testifying the actual numbers of costs as …

A checkpoint for those that are blaming free market capitalism…

I don’t ordinarily repost entire posts verbatim; when I do, I let you know.  Consider yourselves informed. One of the raging controversies that is du jour is "has capitalism died"?  Do we have to replace it?  And if so, what?  Socialists / Progressives all say this has been caused by free market capitalism – oh …
